Turner & Italy by James Hamilton
J M W Turner (1775-1851) conducted a love affair with Italy throughout his professional life. This work offers an account of the artist's visits to Italy: from the early visual excitement of Rome and Venice captured in his sketchbooks, to the enduring influence of Italy in his painted masterpieces.
James Hamilton is University Curator and Honorary Reader at the University of Birmingham. He is the author of the biographies Turner - A Life (1997), and Faraday - The Life (2002). His book setting Turner and Faraday into the wider context of nineteenth century London, London Lights: The Minds that Moved the City the Shook the World 1805-51, was published in 2007 by John Murray.
